In the last four months of tuning into what I need right now, and eating more consciously, I’ve really experienced a positive difference in how I feel, which is the biggest reward anyone could ask for! But I’ve also had bad days where I wasn’t prepared, and suddenly being at a wedding or a birthday party, or out for dinner with friends without much to eat in the “good” category, wasn’t so rad. I believe that my relationship to food is something that I may have to keep in check for the rest of my life, or at least as long as I choose to use it as a tool to become a healthier person (so, like, forever). I see now that there is an incredibly fine line between caring about what I eat and caring too much. This probably doesn’t sound so terrible, but like I said before, this is a slippery slope into full-blown disordered eating for me.

I feel truly blessed to have a community of conscious and loving readers, and that we can all share our journey with one another. Time and time again I am reminded of the power in vulnerability and open communication. ![]() I knew that opening myself up would spark a lot of conversation, but I never imagined the impact it would have, not only in regards to the incredible outpouring of support, but for sharing your own stories and struggles. I have to start by saying how incredibly moved I was by the comments on the last post, and the emails I received from you guys – a deep, heartfelt thank you.
